WIP Wednesday: Granny squares and geese

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm very happy to report that I made some quilting progress last week. I'm a few days away from the start of my new bee, the friends with additions. This is a travelling quilt bee with some really talented quilters from all over the world. We mail out our starter block on Nov. 1st, and I finished mine yesterday.

I had something else in mind, with a low volume background, but when I finished the first circle of flying geese, I thought it is a bit too busy.

I think I will make this into a side panel for another Super Tote, I had a request for one from a friend.

The other WIP I worked on is the Denyse Schmidt granny square quilt.

My friend Anja was kind enough to send me fabric for the upper two blocks, I did not have the pink ones and the pale grey in my stash. I also bought some more Shellburn Falls for this quilt. So now I have Hope Valley, Chicopee und Shellburn Falls in this quilt, and I think to go so well together!

I'm not sure how big this one will be. We have a queen sized bed, so now I have the choice between making it big enough for our bed, or leave it like this as a big lap quilt. I'm also not sure about the layout yet, maybe I will set them on point after all. Any thoughts on this?

I'm a member!
